No duh. WH, how about listening to experts that have opinions on something besides oil?

1. Signs Show Americans Overestimated President's Intelligence

4. Just the idea that they think he has any is over rating it.

7. Looking for his brain with a magnifying glass

result--No brain--nothing to report.

14. Did you use an electron microscope?

2. Rated the story and a kick...I wonder if a few of these guys on "vacation"

will pull a Dubya.....
:eyes:

3. Some morning show early today had a group that was scheduled for

r&r and they were asked how much warning they had been given and they said an hour to get ready to go. These people are all too regular joe and poor to be able to pull a Dubya.

5. Where the mind is,

that's where you 'll find all their energies focused.

Mission: conquer world's #2 supply of oil. Conquered. Good. Mission accomplished. Is the oil secured? For the most part. Great. End of story.

You can certainly see where their thoughts were all this time, can't you?

9. You are so right. If a few thousand or so folks get killed, okay, if we

spend billions the American people don't have, okay, if everyone in the area hates us even more, okay, if the world see us as power hungry despots, okay, if we lie cheat and steal to get the American public to let us have our way, okay. I am pretty sure you get my drift here. What they want, they get. Too bad about everyone else.

6. Nah, they didn't underestimate the war, so much as

misunderestimate it.

10. baby bush thought he could do better than his daddy. His daddy

either had a brain or listened to those who told him not to go into Iraq. I hate them both but I'll take the one with a brain who was elected if I HAVE to HAVE a bush.

8. No shit, Sherlock!"

11. I'd forgotten that saying. I does fit the bill.

12. They knew. Krugman calls it "the bait and switch"

The lied and said it was going to be quick and that it'd pay for itself.

They knew they were just going to use it to drown the federal gov't in Nordquist's bathtub, and that they were going to use it to transfer wealth to the wealthy.

[efhmc]

13. Now I am really wondering if they could be that unclever about the

reaction of the American public as more and more of their double dealings unfold. I wanted to add: do you think that they just do not care and think they can continue doing what ever they want and we will still be giving them our blessing because we are being protected from terrorism?
